Spanish Galgo group GALGOS 112 AND DDEVIDA organized a walk with galgos and podencos in the city of Sevilla that was held on June 27, 2010!

The objective was to show that galgos and podencos make wonderful pets and to life the status of Spanish hunting dogs to that of companion pets. As you can see from the photos, everyone had a great time.

G.R.I.N. is happy to see that progress is being made in Spain by these devoted and hard working rescue friends who are chipping away at the misconceptions of older generations that think that these wonderful dogs do not deserve the same treatment as other companion dogs. We applaud their efforts of our friends as they continue to fight for the rights of the galgos and podencos!

Thanks to Encarni of DDEVIDA for passing these wonderful photos of the event to us. Keep up the great work!

Galgo Rescue International Network

Galgo Rescue International Network

Dedicated to the welfare of the Spanish Galgo and Sighthounds worldwide.

The Galgo Rescue International Network (GRIN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization run entirely by volunteers that was founded to establish a relationship between the animal shelters in Spain and animal lovers in the United States and around the world. Our love of Greyhounds and concern for their plight drew us to their cousins — the galgos.

Working closely with Spanish shelters, GRIN raises awareness of the Spanish Greyhound's plight through international educational campaigns and fundraising. We also aid shelters and assist with adoptions for rehomed sighthounds in the U.S. with the primary goals being to provide practical help and supplies to the Spanish shelters and to inspire change in the treatment of the Galgo Espnaõl and the Podenco through public informational and educational campaigns.
